Stayed here for a night en route to Jaisalmer in February. This place is a bit of a museum and the rooms felt like an antique as well. There are many staircases leading up to the rooftop "honeymoon suite" with a possible "bonus" of head injury at one part. The bed was hard and lumpy, and the safe was not... More

Sojourn in Rajasthan, the land of kings is incomplete without spending at least one night in a palace. Well, its a hotel ,but also a palace. Its easy to put your feet up and relax in the many terraces at night and imagine you are really living somewhere back in time. A telescope mounted on the terrace adds to the... More

There are modern hotels using the word 'palace' in their names but this one is genuine and lives up to the term. It's a most impressive building with quality of service to match. Our room was enormous and comfortably furnished although a long walk and many stairs away from anywhere else - not a problem for us but any less... More

Our one night stay at this centrally located, resplendent palace was like a trip back to the time and peek into the opulent lives of the Maharaja of Bikaner and his family. Magnificent architecture throughout with influences from Indian, British and Mughal buildings carefully maintained to preserve its original beauty. The service and food were excellent all brought to life... More

First there was the park and then the palace: stunning, longtimes residence of the maharadja of Bikaner, now partly hotel. We had a warm welcome by the staff. We had booked a Deluxe Room and were upgraded. Our room on the ground floor was huge, sumptuosly furnished and decorated. The bathroom was big, with enough hot water (not everywhere in... More

From Mandawa we made our way to Bikaner. When we arrived at this hotel we could not believe our eyes! What a fantastic building! It was build at the beginning of the last century and used to be the residence of the Maharaja of Bikaner. We had a warm welcome by the staff and were escorted to our room on... More

Driving up to this property is stunning and it is filled with photos of its past glories - and lots of skins/heads of hunting trophies (so beware the trophy room if you don't like that...). Our room was large but a bit noisy as it was adjacent to where the group luggage was stored. Beware some of the electrics -... More

This is a stunning looking building, nice surrounds, but I guess, to be charitable, we were unlucky. Our room was on the third floor in a corner, no lift, so we carried our hand luggage up the flights of stairs (we are both 70+!). Being in the corner, we had little hot water to the shower in the morning. Our... More

We had boked 6 months previous and were meant to be in a deluxe room, we were shown, through winding narroow corridors to Rm 165. The room had no windows and low ceilings, it was like being in a tomb. My wife phoned reception to complain - the first time they just hung up! The second time they just said... More
